Phantasy Star generation:1: 3D AGES Logo

Postby Thoul » Mon Feb 20, '12, 12:02 am

The first thing a player sees when booting up Phantasy Star generation 1 is the 3D AGES logo screen. The game was the first to be created under the 3D AGES banner. 3D AGES was a cooperative effort between Sega and D3 Publisher to produce a line of budget titles based on older Sega properties. As observant readers, you have probably noticed that 3D AGES is a reversed spelling of SEGA D3. Sega has used this naming gimmick several times, including in a semi-famous advertising campaign that declared "to be this good takes AGES!"

I love this logo - it's very well conceived (not only the backwards spelling but the "3D" also looks like an electric power plug).

I'll see it as soon as Orakio Rob finishes PSG1 translation.

Until recently, I only thought of the 3D as a power plug. I didn't recognize that was text until last week. :oops: The logo makes a lot more sense to me now. :lol:

Sadly, 3D Ages no longer exists. :( Sega and D3's partnership broke up before the release of Generation 2. They had been planning a PS IV remake, but it was canceled. Sega continued making budget titles without D3, but they were only emulation ports, including Phantasy Star Complete Collection.

Well, I guess you learn something new everyday, lol. Never would have thought that was something backwards (SEGA 3D). Very tricky and smart idea, ha ha.
